I’ve been very fortunate and lucky so far. One thing is patience is a virtue. The SG junior is my crown jewel. I always wanted one and just when I was about to break down and buy a vintage over priced one, Gibson released a 2018 version. I’m actually on the verge of selling some. I’ve done the whole cased and out out of mind, out of sight thing and I’ve got my three that I love. It’s super silly and dumb to have acquired this many guitars. I was just having fun this weekend pulling everything out and doing a check. I don’t even want to start on the pedals lol.
Here's a new one : ESP LTD Hybrid 300. Picked it up used for $140.00. I just got done installing a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound at the neck and a SD JB at the bridge. I replaced the stock tuning machines with Hipshot locking tuners. Just need to fine tune the set up and it should be good to go for a cheap beater guitar.

I am just starting out. The blue one is a Fender Squire, a pawn shop rescue from a vacation to Pensacola Florida. a fun way to spend $35. Needed new strings. The red one is a ESP model 10, my first guitar.tuned in drop D. Black and white photo of Kurt Cobain,
This is my guitar. I am just learning and wanted something smaller so I wouldn't have a finger reach issue. It is a Harley Benton DS-10 Mini. She wasn't expensive, but she is doing well for me.

Good way to start. Convenient for you to take places too, I suppose.
I bought a cheap, Mitchell mini acoustic for my daughter and I find myself reaching for it quite a bit. It's a handy little thing to just grab and go.
Yeh it is super convenient so far. I can easily bring it into any room which I am enjoying. So I can strum or practice finger placement while waiting for things to cook in the kitchen or watching TV in the living room, etc.

That LP is stunning! Pretty sure EV has a strap like that too.
Very nice.
Thanks man, love everything about that guitar. I went to a guitar store to buy some strings one day and saw her hanging on the wall. She came home with me that same day.
The strap was an extremely thoughtful Christmas gift from my wife several years ago. We went to a show back in 2013 and she noticed Eddie's guitar strap then found a guy in Atlanta that makes them.
My latest indulgence... Roadworn Tele. Still have a couple upgrades I wanna do to it. Saddles, pickguard and pups. Got it for a great price though and she plays like a beaut.

Awesome! I love the Road Worns. The “Relic” thing isn’t normally appealing to me, but these are such great guitars and are unique, spec-wise. A RW 50’s Strat is near the top of my go-get list. Enjoy yours!
Nice collection. Did you do the pickup swaps on the LP and Strat yourself? That LP looks great with those zebra coils.
Also, those Squier Bass XI's are a lot of fun to play!
Thanks! Yes I did the swaps on both guitars. The strat is actually the first guitar I ever owned. My parents bought it for me in 1996 for my birthday. I originally put in 3 lace sensors around 2000 or 2001 and the Duncan pickup in the neck position went in around 2002 or 2003 I believe. The Les Paul pickups were made to my specific specs by the good folks at Seymour Duncan. They are a hand wound JB/Jazz combo that work really well together. I also dig the Gibson p90's in the Gary Clark Jr. signature Epiphone Casino. Yeah the bass is pretty interesting. I like it because it is a cool and easy to use studio tool for a guitar player to add some bass/low end to a mix. It is also fun to strum chords on.

I don't know if this belongs in here but I wanted to share this. These are hand carved, custom guitar picks made by a friend of mine. One is Black Walnut, One is Yew Bush and the other is Smokey Bush.

Thanks! I am loving the Koa! First Taylor and it plays like a dream.
I've wanted to buy a KOA guitar. Is there a distinct sound difference in it from a regular acoustic?
I find it to be super crisp and bright. I actually went with the one that they had out on display because it had that great “broken in” sound. I definitely think that with these KOA guitars the more you play them the more the sound really pops.
Got a late Fathers Day on Wednesday. Custom Shop Martin OM-28. Went with smaller body since I already have a decent dreadnought. I doubt I’ll ever play anything else. Thing just kills my lower mid grade Alvarez. Plenty of low end for a smaller body and just absolutely stunning mid and high sparkle. Built quality and attention to detail is out of this world.

Those Mustang amps sure do a lot for the money.
Interesting to see an acoustic Flying V!

I have been teaching myself acoustic guitar for a few months now. Next week I start fortnightly guitar lessons with a teacher.
This lovely Hamer will arrive in about a month.
